When old man Zhou Huazi came to the main hall with the support of his daughter Liu Songqing, Xiao Han had already finished offering incense to the little martyr Liu Songtao and was standing silently in front of the small coffin. Although he was young, he had made many meritorious deeds. pay tribute to the little hero.
On the finely crafted coffin, there is a hand-painted portrait. On it, a young man as bright as the sun is smiling and looking at the people in front of him. This portrait may have been completed by a painter based on the Liu family's narrative. It's very expressive and lifelike, and it expresses the little hero's life style very vividly.
You must know that this kind of portrait is difficult to complete without detailed information. From the side, you can see how deeply his relatives miss him!
"Governor Xiao, you are so busy, why are you here in person?" Old man Zhou Huazi said it first.
"After hearing such news, no matter how busy I am, I still have to come and take a look. You may not know that when I was in school, I came here after reading the text adapted from the story of the little hero"! Xiao Han respects the old man very much. Any such old man is worthy of respect. You must know that most of the old man's children died in the Anti-Japanese War! And the youngest fifth son was only twelve years old when he died!
After comforting his family members, Xiao Han was not pretentious. After talking about the daily routine with Zhou Huazi, he and Liu Jiangsong came to another room. It was time to talk about some things.
"Commander Liu, I'm very sorry about something"! There was no turning around, Xiao Han said directly as soon as the two of them sat down.
"Governor Xiao, you are talking about the incident in Zichang County, hey" Liu Songqing laughed, but there was no follow-up. Looking at Xiao Han, he was also a little confused about the governor's words and deeds. Don't you have any official atmosphere at all?
"Yeah, that's exactly what I'm talking about. After I learned the news, because I couldn't get in touch with the military region in a hurry, and at the same time, I was worried about being blocked by some people with ulterior motives, so I came up with a strategy and directly called the naval special forces. The team members intercepted the execution ground, if disregarding human life can be regarded as the execution ground!¡± Regarding this matter, Xiao Han admitted that he had made some rash mistakes. At the same time, he also wanted to point out that the so-called tribulation field was not established. Moreover, this so-called law field was local. This matter itself brought with it There is a lot of doubt. As an active soldier, the local government and even the Northern Military Region do not have the power to deal with it. You must know that Xiaolu's soldier relationship is still in Pingjing!
Xiao Han's tone was very gentle, but the matter was explained very clearly. After experiencing his mother's reprimand, Liu Songqing also considered the matter carefully, so the two had no serious differences on this matter. In the end, Liu Songqing's dissatisfaction is just a matter of face. Having said that, Xiao Han's attitude can be said to be low enough. For this reason, Liu Songqing is also somewhat grateful to Xiao Han. You must know that the army has always been What is respected is toughness. If Xiao Han insists, Liu Songqing has no good way to get back in this game. You know, from every aspect, it is the only excuse for the Northern Military Region to be unreasonable and stir up trouble. , is nothing more than arbitrarily calling in naval special operations personnel to enter the garrison area of ??the Northern Military Region without coordination, but you must understand that your garrison area of ??the Northern Military Region is also the land of the Republic! Could it be that you still split the soil and sealed the lordship?
Xiao Han's attitude and posture are very low, but it does not mean that Xiao Han will be weak in this matter. The toughest means have been used, so why care about an attitude issue? This is what Xiao Han thinks, and Liu Jiangsong , you can use it to go down the stairs.
The conversation was not just as simple as Xiao Han expressing his apology and lowering his attitude. During the conversation, Xiao Han didn't hint to Commander Liu that some people and some things can no longer be solved by covering up. Some people, In some aspects, we need to be taught a lesson!
"The trouble with women is all done to female soldiers. I heard that several female soldiers got pregnant because of this. Haha, I have thought about whether the young man named Li uses the army as his childcare base. "? After the coordination was completed and the conversation between the two became relaxed, Xiao Han said with a smile.
Liu Jiangsong blushed, thinking that this young governor was indeed very arrogant after all. What a poisonous statement he made. It seemed that no one could protect him, whether it was Li Mingyang or Li Xiaogong. In fact, Why would I want to protect the father and son who had such an impact?
Invisibly, the two of them have reached a consensus. In this incident, the person responsible must be pushed out to eliminate the impact!
Who can imagine that in an ordinary house, the fate of several people and dozens of people has been decided!
After coming out of Liu Jiangsong's place, Xiao Han let out a long sigh. Politics is really politics. Such a simple case requires compromise and peace.Swirl! If I hadn't laid so many foreshadowings and even resorted to some means of inciting public dissatisfaction, I would have finally passed the test easily
"Governor, are the talks settled?" After getting in the car, Li Zuofeng asked with concern.
"Well, we've negotiated and reached some consensus, let's go back to the provincial capital"! Xiao Han was so dazzling just now, but when he got in the car, he was full of exhaustion. If he could, he really wanted to leave everything here, find a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters, and lead his family to live a relaxed life.
"Governor, please take a rest, I will ask the driver to drive the car more safely." Li Zuofeng looked at Xiao Han's tired face, but felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. The complicated politics made everything difficult.
"Well, I need to take a rest. Otherwise, the health doctor will teach me again before I get home. I don't want to listen to his chattering." In front of Li Zuofeng, Xiao Han did not hide his tiredness. , leaned on the seat and closed his eyes.
"Turn on the heater louder, slower, and more steady," Li Zuofeng said repeatedly despite the temporary selection of a driver who was also very smart.
When night fell, Xiao Han woke up from his sleep. At this time, the car had already arrived at the provincial capital. At this time, there was no need to go to the government. Xiao Han returned home directly.
Before he even entered the door, a light and elegant piano sound came from the house. Xiao Han was stunned for a moment, and then smiled calmly. Shu Fang didn't know how to play the piano, and Xiao Xiao had no feelings for this kind of elegant music. , listening to the familiar piano sound, Xiao Han had already guessed that Zhuang Yan must have returned from the south.
After ringing the doorbell, the little girl Xiao Xiao quickly opened the door. When she saw it was her brother, she shouted happily: "My brother is back!"
The sound of the piano suddenly stopped, Shu Fang walked out of the room holding Xiao Xiaobei, behind her was Zhuang Yan with a peaceful look on his face.
"When did you come back? And where did you get the piano at home?"
¡°I just arrived yesterday, the piano, which was shipped with the donated medical equipment this time,¡± Zhuang Yan replied.
"You look like this, do you want to live here forever?" Xiao Han said happily.
"What, are you welcome?"
"Of course you are welcome"!
"It's a pity that I don't have time to stay permanently. Seeing that the temperature has risen, some preparations have not been done yet. I can only stay for two days this time. If you don't come back today, I will leave." Zhuang Yan pursed his lips and smiled. Xiao Han was delighted to see that it turned out that Sister Zhuang Yan could also joke!
"Brother, that cute little old lady came here just now. When she saw the piano, she praised it as a good piano!" Xiao Xiao quickly found every opportunity to show off.
"Oh? What makes a piano so high-end?"
"I said I wanted to bring a piano back, but Brother Zhishuang insisted on getting a Steinway" Zhuang Yan explained.
"Steinway, it is indeed a world-class piano. It is a triangle or an upright. I guess it is also an upright, right?" Xiao Han still knew about such world-class famous pianos. When he played the elf prince on the American stage, under the faint moonlight, there was a pure white Steinway Grand Triangle.
"Haha, of course it is a vertical type. We have to transport medical equipment and a lot of experimental equipment. Where is the space to install a big triangle?" Zhuang Yan smiled and said: "Besides, with my level of half-assedness, it would be great to have a Steinway upright!"
"What? I think Sister Zhuang Yan plays the piano very well, she's not half-assed"! Xiao Xiao quickly said, through insinuations, from Qiao Sujuan's side, from Shu Fang's side, Xiao Xiao has almost understood what happened between Shu Fang, Xiao Han and Zhuang Yan back then. The little girl is kind, and towards Zhuang Yan, But she has deep sympathy.
When he returned home, he could see Zhuang Yan, which made Xiao Han even more happy. Although he would leave tomorrow, Zhuang Yan had a lot of work to do when he returned to China. For the time being, he would not go back to the United States, and he would not go back to the United States soon. As the temperature rises, construction is about to start in the north. Seeing this, Zhuang Yan will live at home as long as he is in the north. Xiao Han is not clear about the agreement between the two women Zhuang Yan and Shu Fang. What a tacit understanding.
"Haha, actually if possible, I hope Sister Zhuang Yan can come to play the piano more often. Just now, I had several ideas for the piano music. Although I only made sketches, I think they are better than me. The previous works were more spiritual¡±! To be honest, Shu Fang is the stronger one when it comes to owning Xiao Han, but in terms of feelings, she always feels at a disadvantage because of guilt. She really doesn't know how to face Zhuang Yan, who has no desires and desires. A woman as pale as a chrysanthemum.
"Really, that depends onYou have made Sister Zhuang Yan happy, and she will naturally come more often. By then you will be able to produce more good works, and our family¡¯s pocket money will be richer." Among the three of them, Xiao Han It was the most relaxing. Apart from the physical desire, he had an indescribable obsession with the spiritual love between him and Zhuang Yan!
"Even classmate Xiao Xiaobei likes to hear Sister Zhuang Yan play the piano. Well, let's start dinner quickly. When we finish eating, I will coax Xiao Xiaobei while Sister Zhuang Yan plays the piano and my sister-in-law designs the clothes. Don't we all get something?" ? Xiao Xiao happily suggested that although she was still ignorant about love affairs, wouldn't it be great if the people her brother loved and the people who loved her brother could get together and be harmonious and harmonious?
"Oh? Let Sister Zhuang Yan play the piano and your sister-in-law design clothes, but you only coax Xiaobei. Xiao Xiao, I think you need to develop some hobbies. Otherwise, wouldn't you be the most useless in this family?" It's really like this. Xiao Xiaobei's classmates all like graffiti, but Xiao Xiao, except for occasional writing, has no hobbies or specialties. This makes Xiao Han wonder, is it because of the genes he inherited from Aunt Qiao? ? You must know that the Xiao family all have unique skills. Even Xiao Guozhu, who is as strong as a mountain, can be called dexterous when doing some manual work!
"Tch, isn't it my specialty to coax children? Besides, you are so capable, I can't even enjoy it, so why don't you study hard?" Xiao Xiao, on the other hand, enjoys the fruits of others with confidence. In the heart of the little girl, spending her brother's money and passing on the clothes made by her sister-in-law is completely justified.
"You are such a lazy little boy. By the way, the editor-in-chief Wang of the provincial newspaper told me that I will open a column for you in the Youth of Liao Province. You must agree, but you can't be so lazy anymore!" Xiao Han glared at his sister and said.
"I'm still a teenager, okay?" Xiao Xiao quickly protested loudly. You must know that writing occasionally is just a hobby. If you open a column, wouldn't you lose your freedom?
"She's already taller than your sister-in-law, but you're still a teenager? You can't agree if you don't"!
"If you agree, just agree. This is a semi-monthly publication. Isn't it onerous? By the way, if you want me, the beautiful writer Xiao, to open a column, the remuneration will be favorable!" The little girl knew that she was no match for her brother in terms of stubbornness, so she had no choice but to agree to this alliance under the city. Besides, she would be flying to the Eastern Province soon! At that time, you can escape from your brother's clutches
"Well, you have to do your best as promised. Even if you go to Eastern Province, I will let my aunt supervise you"! Xiao Han's words made the little girl's dream come true. You know, Qiao Sujuan can stand up to several Xiao Hans in terms of sternness!
"I'm going to die! No, let's eat, eat, eat"!
While the Xiao family was joking here, the nursery at the foot of Xishan Gen in Zichang County also fell into the tranquility after entering the night. In the slight cold wind, the branches in the nursery made a rustling sound, making it look a little desolate.
There are mountains here in Zichang County, but they are not high. Many buildings and houses will be built on the mountains, so that the foundations can be much higher, eliminating the trouble of raising the foundations. It is precisely because of this that the entire The architectural layout of the county town is a bit messy, but the overall shape is still long. Because of its special nature, the Chen family's nursery was built on the edge of Zichang County, and it is an area that is not used by builders. Or the place that the unit is optimistic about, so there are many fewer residences here, making them seem a bit lonely.
The economy of Zichang County has not been good in recent years. Although the county is mountainous, there are no minerals. These earth-covered mountains cannot even be mined with decent rocks. In the past, they should be said to be typical poor mountains. !
The place is poor, so not many people go out to spend the night at night. Although it is a county town, people generally go to bed very early. It is only nine o'clock in Zichang County, and it is already dark, except for a few people. There were street lights on the main road, but the rest of the place was completely dark.
If the economy is not improving, there will be no money to repair the roads. Therefore, many roads have become bumpy. A minivan is driving on the bumpy road. Fortunately, the road to go is not too far. , the bones of the people in the car were not broken by the bumps.
"Hey! Mazi, how about that girl's job tonight? Damn, he accidentally gave you the first one, look at your little waist, you're working so hard"! A thin man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks didn't need makeup to play a villain and asked a guy with a pockmarked face while laughing.
"Fuck, why don't you try the job yourself? Captain Luo promised a heavy reward after the job is done this time. With money, you won't wrap up that little slut. In that case, what? I¡¯ve tried everything out¡±! Mazi glanced at the thin monkey and said disdainfully.
"You fucking don't think your back hurts when you say this? Am I the same as you? Me, mom you each have two hundred, and I only get half of your fucking money."??Skinny Monkey muttered unconvincedly.
"With your skills, it would be great to give you a ticket, but you still think you can be so powerful?" A middle-aged man next to him who was pretending to be concentrating with his eyes closed opened his eyes, slapped the thin monkey on the head with his big hand and cursed.
"I'm going to slap you! I'm a little weak, but my moves are worse than pockmarks. I've always done the most harm to someone when I repaired them. Why should you give me a hundred, which is only half of yours?"
"Okay, if you have the energy, go and talk to Captain Luo. If you can ask for more, we won't be jealous of you. You can only ask for a thousand!" Mazi pouted and said.
Obviously, Captain Luo, who they were talking about, was a very scary character in their minds. Being treated like a general by Mazi, the thin monkey immediately lost his voice and turned his eyes to the window, with a fierce light flashing in his eyes. The idea came to my mind that when I was doing things later, I had to get rid of my hatred with that unjust ghost. I couldn't get rid of this bad breath without breaking a few of his bones!
"Okay, stop mumbling, it's here"! The driver driving in front suddenly said.
"What should I do when we arrive? Just rush in"? Mazi seemed to have some problems in his head. At this time, he couldn't help asking stupidly
"You are so stupid, just rush in? Why do you think your face can be invisible?" The driver cursed angrily. If Zichang County wasn't too small and had too few manpower, he wouldn't have wanted to hire these idiots.
"Wait a minute, if the lights are still on in his house, we will ambush outside. If that kid comes out, we will sap him. If the lights are already dark, it is better. Just kick in the door and go in. Do it in the dark. Be sure to be careful. , but don¡¯t kill anyone, when the time comes, small things will become big things¡±! The driver turned out to be the leader of the group. While driving the car to avoid potholes on the road, he told the people behind him.
"Hey, I like to fight sap the most. It's like it's in a movie. Isn't this how the Eighth Route Army fights little devils?" Mazi grinned.
"Fuck, how can you still be worthy of the Eighth Route Army with your virtue? You are not even qualified for the Imperial Army"
